I love watching the crowd shots from these videos. Such a different time 25 years ago. Also interesting watching the electrical parade and all the obvious work that went into that versus today with the amazing LED lights and what they can do. Thanks for sharing, always enjoy these nostalgic videos!
Your welcome, that’s great to hear you enjoy them, & your right there, it certainly was a different time back then, the Electrical parade was so amazing to see, I miss not seeing this is the park now 🥲
Thank you for reminding me of my childhood. I grew up in Bradenton and me and my parents went here in 1999 for the last time. Toy Story 2 had just come out.

Funny I was thinking the same thing that once they wrapped up the millennium celebration it really never recovered. Obviously 9/11 changed our country forever & cell phones!
Great videos. Feels like we're back in time. Love the quality. I want to transfer my own home vids to digital with the best quality possible. WHat method did you use to transfer the VHS to HD? (I am looking at buying the Clear Click transfer device, but maybe you have a better method?). Thanks for any insight. Gary
@garypipa5034 Great to hear you love the quality 👍 regarding how I transfer my video I use the StarTech USB Capture Cable (SVID2USB232) to hook my video source up to my PC and use VirtualDub2 software to convert the video digitally, then I run the new digital file through some software called Topaz Video A.I , this enhanced and upscales to quality of the video and the main hero when restoring old VHS video footage, My final step is running the footage through my video editing software, tweaking exposure, brightness, contrast etc and adding a LUT. I am familiar with the ClearClick transfer device you've mentioned , I did purchase one for myself, Although it is just collecting dust on a shelf now as I don't think the quality of the transfer is the best, but again I'm not saying its bad, this is only my preference, converting video with VirtualDub2 you get a much clearer looking video, VirtualDub2 is also free and the StarTech cable is only $38 dollar /£31 pounds from Amazon, Hope this helps
@@DisneyDave Thanks for the detailed explanation. Much appreciated. I am going to look into everything you shared. The quality of the footage is worth the time and effort. Thanks again. Again, cool channel. I’ll be watching! Best, Gary
@@jeffmarks1996 now you’ve got me thinking, we were there when the Hurricane 🌀 struck, I remember that very well 👍 can you remember the dates when it happened?
@@DisneyDaveI was working for Disney at that time. It was the first time they had ever closed for a storm. Tuesday September 14 we closed early, the following day September 15 the parks we completely closed & the following day September 16 we reopened with no damage from hurricane Floyd fortunately. It was a crazy couple of days well before text alerts & email distributions. We had to call into the employee scheduling line for updated instructions. That’s a jog down memory lane for sure!
@@Big-4thank for that 👍 & yes that’s right & definitely remember now especially with you saying it was the first time ever that Disney World had closed, so cool that you were working there at this time, I bet you’ve got some great memories, what stands out for me with the Hurricane was trying to find somewhere open that sold food, I remember going to a supermarket & the food shelves were literally bare, we did end up finding a little pizza place that was open 🎉

You’re very welcome!
This is great
Before Disney went down the tubes. I sure do miss the old days.
Weird, I always assumed the Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin appeared a long time after 1999. Funny how these things play tricks on you.
Peak Disney world.

Surprisingly seems similar to today even though the pricing is very much not .
It would be great to have the park tickets at that price again!

@@garypipa5034 You're welcome
what date in 1999?
Not sure on the date of this one Jeff, Maybe somewhere around the beginning of September 1999
@@DisneyDave before the hurricane.
